I have looked through the posts and I did not see this issue previously reported. I let my phone run out of power two nights ago. Ever since then my phone will not lock. If I try to manually lock it, the screen just turns off. If the screen times out, that is all that happens. I have rebooted, both fast and full, no change. Any advice?

try taking the battery out.
Tried a battery pull. The first screen is locked after turning on, but after unlocking, the original problem persists. Thanks. Next idea?

Great user name!
hello
hello factory reset
How do your settings look under Security > Lock Phone After? I don't remember what the default setting there was, but if you have anything other than "Immediately" it won't lock until that defined time. For example, I have mine set to 5 minutes so I can still jump into my phone (not literally, of course) after powering the screen off without having to unlock it. It's just a convenience thing for me.
Hopefully that does the trick for you. Keeping my fingers crossed.
So odd. The "lock after" option is only visible if I select a pattern or password. I chose immediately, unselected the pattern, and now the lock works, although that option disappeared again. Thanks everyone for your help, I'll let you know if this holds.

Hi,
I have a desire S with 2.3.3 and build 1.31.720.2, few hours back I was using it with Gtalk and suddenly it was not responding, not responding as in not able to bring it back from suspended mode. Tried to restart it but get to the HTC welcome screen and then it wont respond i get the HTC jingle but screen has just a backlight no display. Havent done a factory reset till now. Any clue what might have happened yes a tried with battery out also kept without battery for 10-12mins.
It is S-ON
blimey,
I assume that the battery is fully charged? As it sounds like you have a flat battery.
If not plug phone in to charge.
Otherwise, I'd try a hard reset as your next option.
Good luck
Otherwise I'm guessing that it's still well within it's initial warranty.

I finally had to go with factory reset. Good thing is after reset phone automatically reinstalls all the apps saves me a lot of work.
Well I really don't know what might have had happened but just a day before I was trying for a temp root using gingerbreak and I achieved it after that I installed a hacked version of Google navigation from xda, which worked for me... It's just a wild guess that this might have created the issue.

Now that might go some way to explain what you experienced glad that problems is resolved

When I started using my Charge today, I discovered two odd problems with it.
Firstly, when I press the lock button (from a locked state), the screen starts dim and then brightens. When the screen is dim, it is completely unresponsive until it brightens about a second later. This isn't particularly horrible, but it is kind of annoying.
Second, I can't rotate my phone anymore. I've checked the settings and the notification tray and they both have auto rotate enabled. It isn't tied to any app as it happens accross the phone.
Both of these issues started today and I didn't make any big changes to my phone. I'm running GummyCharged 1.9.1 (flashed the full Odin) and I'm planning on just flashing it again if no one has any ideas to fix this. Thanks for any help!

The dim would appear to be normal as my phone does it as well although I wouldn't say it takes a full second before its responsive.
As for auto rotate, try deleting ms3c_yamaha.cfg from /data/system and reboot.

I added .bak to the end of the file, rebooted, and both problems are fixed. The screen is still dim and then brightens upon hitting the lock button, but it is now immediately responsive.
Thanks for the help!

Hello,
Hard reset, factory. My one x is becoming unresponsive and sluggish, usually about 20 minutes after a reboot. I have nothing on this phone. we're just using the web browser, and touches don't register. I thought that it may be a screen defect, and it still may well be. But it seems odd to me that after a fresh reboot, or by turning off the phone and letting it "chill out" the phone becomes responsive again.
Basically how do I tell if this is a hardware defect or a software defect? I am locked, running at&t 1.85 stock. I have tried the hardware tests and of course everything passes.
Thanks
Did you try the ruu yet and if it still happens probably the digitizer or whatever has a defect

Do you have fastboot enabled still? I don't think you'll get true, full reboot if it is. You've not down loaded any apps or anything? Was it doing this since you bought the phone or did it start occurring just out of the blue? I'm assuming your not rooted or anything, right?
It's a rather odd issue that I've never heard of before.

To find out if the touchscreen is registering touches, do this when it starts becoming sluggish:
Go to settings -> developer options -> pointer location
See if whenever you touch the phone it overlays a blue line.

The "Fast boot" option in Setting/Power only apply to powering off, than on again. Holding down the power button, then selecting Restart will give you a true reboot, even with fast boot enabled.

Thanks alot. I am still investigating this. I thought that I did not have any third party apps installed, but it looks like the culprit may be Virtua Tennis.
I have found that some Android apps even after closed or reboot still take control of certain aspects of the phone. The pin ball games do it. Its not until I delete them does it stop.

Guys, I am new to the forum, I would appreciate if you could share some experience. I have a 3 months old One Mini. Looking good and working like a dream.
I had to factory reset couple of times, but all remained stable. Some days ago I realized that when I want to start on an application on the screen it does not do anything, but then after 2nd try it works perfectly. I does not happen often just sometimes. From the Menu all works perfectly, the issue occurred only with on-screen apps. I have a screen protector on. Am I touching incorrectly, or an app is running in the background and that causes the glitch, or the screen protector? Shall I factory reset again? Any advice would help. Thanks
Do you use "magnification gestures" under "accessibility" on your system menu? When I had this turned on it would make some of my apps take an extra tap or pressing and holding until it responded. soon as I turned this off all was good again.

thank you RuffBuster, it was off as default.
I would like to completely skip the lock screen that has the shortcuts, etc that pops up soon as I hit the power button. I'm not talking about the lock screen with my password.
I've hunted and haven't found anything yet. That lock screen is not helpful to me. Maybe will have to wait on custom roms.
Thanks for any help.
Never mind ... Had to fix my typos.
Settings>Security. Put a check in the box next to "Bypass lock screen on wake".
Thanks so much. I've hunted and had tons of htc phones. How did I miss that.

Well, hopefully it does what you want. I played with it a bit here and it does work if the time you set to lock the phone has been reached. Just takes you directly to your pattern or pin lock. However, if that time hasn't passed, you still see the lock screen when you wake the phone up. At least that's how it works on mine.
Same here. Also, I still get the lock icon for two seconds then it auto skips to the lock pattern. Oh well. You're post was a big help though.

Just noticed what you're talking about. That initial lock screen pops up if it hasn't been 10 minutes.

That's odd. When I turn mine on it goes directly to pattern lock. I never see the first screen. Perhaps pattern lock and pin lock act differently. Don't know why they would though.
Yeah ... Love the phone but little things like this make it a pain at times. I like to hit the power button most of the time and go straight to my screen.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I use Tasker in combination with Secure Settings to do this. Wifi gets turned on automatically whenever it connects to the tower outside of town here. Then when I get home, it automatically connects to wifi (only if it's my wifi). When that happens, it turns off pattern lock. When I leave and the wifi disconnects, it turns pattern lock back on again. It's a little buggy on this phone though. Hit and miss it seems. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the way our root works so I'm waiting on s-off before I start trouble shooting it. It worked great on my Razr Maxx. Never missed.
Why push the power button? Just swipe up on the screen to unlock the phone and go directly to these home screen...
I hear ya. Yeah it gets a little old sweeping that much screen up 30 times a day just to get to my home screen. Going s off and custom ROM will help, as well.

I do not have this option in Security... why?
Do you have pattern lock or a pin lock set up? The option doesn't become available until you set up one of the various types of locks.

That makes sense - have pin lock, so nevermind.
